The Probability Explorer: A research-based microworld to enhance children's intuitive understandings of chance and data

The development of the Probability Explorer is based on pedagogical<br>implications of constructivist learning theory. The tools available in the environment<br>have provided children with opportunities to extend their understandings of random<br>phenomenon and support their development of graphical and numerical data analysis<br>skills. The open-ended design allows users to explore a variety of simple and compound<br>experiments and to extend the limitations of physical devices with dynamic digital<br>experiences.
